No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are the same! Our naturalist guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the National Park has to offer that day. Please note that the itinerary outlined is a SAMPLE of potential destinations that could be included in the tour.

Join our naturalist guides as we dive deep into Olympic National Park’s highlights on this all-inclusive day tour. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site remarkable for its ecological diversity. Visit turquoise lakes like Lake Crescent or Quinault and explore the fern-filled forests or trek through the giant trees to hidden waterfalls. Experience Washington's marine ecosystems with a visit the shoreline. We tailor the day based on what's best for the season, weather and group!

Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to 10 travelers. We bring a local, organic lunch to eat outside when it's nice! We also bring coffee, tea, snacks, water, and other cold beverages for the day. Don’t worry about a thing.

  • Olympic National Park (Pass by)

    There isn't a gate to pass through when you enter Olympic National Park. Instead, you suddenly notice the trees are bigger, the moss is greener, and you wouldn't be surprised if Sasquatch ambled out of the forest as you pass by. Encompassing nearly 1 million miles, Olympic National Park is another world.
